Is there a way to make "open in a new tab" links in Chrome open in Safari? I'd like to use Chrome as an "email" program with just my gmail page, but I want to use Safari as my main web browser, so I would like all links to open in Safari. Can this be done? I don't mind doing a little hacking if it's necessary, and I also don't mind running Chromium instead if it's easier.
"Create Application Shortcut…" is dimmed out for some reason. By the way, the Chrome guys need to learn how to write a Mac OS X application. This tools menu, which until you just pointed it out me I did not know existed, belongs in the menu bar. – asmeurer – 2011-06-04T03:31:46.807
But if it did work, it would indeed solve my problem, assuming links that normally would open in a new tab opened in Safari. I saw some question here with an answer to the effect of "you can't do that with Application Shortcuts." – asmeurer – 2011-06-04T03:33:59.360
Ah here we go. http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95710. "This feature is only available for Google Chrome on Windows and Linux." So I guess the Mac OS X version doesn't support it yet. But I seem to remember reading that Chromium does support it, so I'll give that a try.

Seems silly to me that they can't make it work for Macs. Good luck! – Dave – 2011-06-09T03:39:44.870
